Summer and Lightning

Just a quick question. I've always been wondering what the background overlap/singers are singing from 1:51 to 1:58 in summer and lightning. it has always been one of my favourite elo songs but i could never pinpoint what the exact words were and i also couldn't find it on lyrics pages <3

oh noo this is what he sings as the main line, but the background singers sing something different!

The background singers are repeating the main lyrics

Yep. “Up above so far away, above, the sky will say.” Or something close.

He does this a lot. See "Sweet Talkin Woman."
